    If employers didn't burden the cost of health care , maybe we would be more competitive .

    I would rather work and pay high % in taxes than be unemployed .

    Government run system will create jobs and more people will be medically cared for .

    The people that are up in arms are the lucky ones with jobs and health care.

    Put yourself in place of others and see if you feel the same way .
    need I REMIND you who caused the housing market collapse? oh yea...that would be the US gov't

    and a gov't run healthcare system will do the exact opposite of what you are claiming. it will end up rationing healthcare so that the people that deserve it (aka they can PAY!!!) can't get the care they can rightly buy. I don't have health insurance...and i'm SERIOUSLY up in arms. I will not take such a socialist atrocity sitting down

    Trust me , there will still be short lines for the rich . Sorry there is no longer a middle class .

    Government did not cause housing market to fall apart . The erosion of jobs as greedy companies sent work out of the country . What is suppose to happen when you pick apart unions and cut wages ?

    are you high?? ANY decent business person would send jobs out of this country if they have to pay them significantly less and get the same amount of productivity out of them. We seem to think our mostly unskilled labor force in this country is important and deserving of WAYYYYY more than it really is. Unions should no longer exist.....i know maybe you're a little rusty on your capitalism but guess what....a company EXISTS to make MONEY....and in that vane it is their responsibility to their shareholders to run a business as profitably as they possibly can. And if that means moving jobs to countries where factory workers are actually more realistic about their worth then so be it.

    I guess you have beaten me . I guess we should go back to slaves and masters . There should be no unions , ok . Lets have companies make tons of money and workers make nothing . Oh wait , who will by the products and services ?
    I guess anything else would be giving the weak a bone .
    Once you have built your castle , have fun guarding it . When the starved have nothing to lose , guess what ?
    Ask me if I'm high . That is coming from a dillusionist who will cry when they are victimized . When you have been around a while , maybe you understand there has to be a balance .
